Charli XCX, “SuperLove”: Charli XCX isn’t wasting any time. Her debut, True Romance, only dropped five months ago, but she’s already prepping her follow-up. The first single, “SuperLove,” will be released December 1st. Watch the video below:
Sky Ferreira, “you’re Not the One”: Singer-model-actress Sky Ferreira continues her very public musical evolution with “you’re Not the One,” the first single from her long-in-the-works debut album, Night Time, My Time. The midtempo track is an ’80s mélange of jangly guitars, new-wave synths, and cavernous drums. Ferreira gets her Samantha Fox on in the colorful music video for the single. Check it out below:
Anna Calvi, “Suddenly”: “Suddenly” is the opening track from British singer-songwriter Anna Calvi’s sophomore effort, One Breath, out October 7th. Like Carina Round, Calvi’s voice is reminiscent of PJ Harvey, and “Suddenly” also conjures Jeff Buckley, particularly those shimmering guitars around the halfway mark.
Martina Topley-Bird featuring John Lanegan, “Crystalised”: U.K. songstress Martina Topley-Bird—best known for her work with Tricky, and who embarked on a solo career a decade ago with her album Anything—has teamed up with Mark Lanegan for a cover of the xx’s “Crystalised.”
